Abstract
A paradigm shift centered round objecthood underlies the change of art form from the modern to the postmodern. The paradigm of modern art is characterized by differentiation that excludes objecthood while the paradigm of post-modern art is dedifferentiation that includes objecthood. The paper claims that the context of contemporary Chinese art is modernism, and this context has also modernized many of the art form of the post-modern. Therefore, the paper concludes that a theoretical delineation of the context of the paradigm is necessary for understanding contemporary Chinese art.
